Dropbox keeps complaining about "Can't Sync 'System Volume Information'"
Dropbox Windows client 3.0.5, running on Windows 8.1
I have a dedicated partition / drive for Dropbox, and Windows created "System Volume Information" folder on its root directory.

I sent a reply but it seems to have evaporated. Yes, changing permissions seems to have cracked it. I accept deleting the folder wouldn't help. And it seem to me you can't create a folder with the same name because the OS would just say that it already exists, yes?.
The takeown command was a new one to me; it may have been valuable but I can't tell. Certainly changing permissions was the important thing, and also de-selecting it once it was visible finally clinched it.
So thanks, guys, good work; I am grateful.

IIt seems to me if people actually read replies they wouldnt write counter replies that are not applicable.
So again....
Selective sync works of the folders that are in the cloud, not the machine.
So I would expect you can just create the folder via the website, and then selectively unsync it.
Tested and works fine, no hassle no hardship.
